What is TikTok? If it's what I think it is, it will never beat out MySpace.

She claims that people were pretending to be her - over a year ago.

One of the challenges of tik tok and some other social media is that accounts of popular users are frequently duplicated by others. There is a financial incentive to do so. I know of a number of people who have found others setting up such spoofed fake accounts. It is one of the downsides of tik tok. On Facebook, one is seeing a lot more fake news - reports of celebrity deaths or alleged judicial rulings that make one group or another happy. It is the wild west out there.

Honest question, 2/3rds of the problem seems to be with the app. The weird permissions and all of the background data the app is gathering. So why not ban the app, but allow the website? The website should have a lot less access to private information, no?

Same algorithm.
That effects the videos that they see, yes, and lets them be manipulated, but the privacy concerns and data tracking (which seems to be the big issue) becomes moot.
